Meatball Cabbage Soup

It is mid June and I’m finally wearing short sleeves. I was, however, still wearing my winter coat through the first week of June here in Switzerland. We’ve had a very wet and cold spring this year. In fact, they were saying on the news here that we should expect to see the price of milk rise because the cows are “unhappy” and making less milk because of the wet and dreary weather. This kind of weather always makes me want to crawl into bed and pull the covers up over my head. Instead, I made a warm and hearty meatball for dinner last week and that made me feel warm and happy. Too bad cows don’t eat soup so that I could share with them and make them happy again, too.

Don’t be intimidated by the long list of ingredients. Most of it is just normal spices. This meal took about 45 minutes from start to finish.

This looks really really delicious, and with the kind of summer that we’re having here in Quebec so far, I am seriously considering whipping up a batch over the week-end, especially since I pretty much have all the ingredients in my fridge! You certainly have inspired me to make some sort of a meatball and cabbage stew… thanks much for that.

And if it can make you feel better, I still have to wear a jacket to head off to work in the morning. And if I owned an umbrella, I would have to use it most every day, too. Yeah, we’re having that nice a summer… NOT! 😉

Hi Sonia,
I’m sorry that your weather is as dreadful as ours. Of course, if it was super hot I’m sure I’d be complaining about that, too 🙂 Oh well, at least it’s an excuse to stay in pyjamas and eat soup!

OMG This soup is very tasty. Love the spices and flavors. The meatballs are delicious. This soup will be one that I will make often. Thanks 🙂

Hi Edda,
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. We are having perfect soup weather at the moment so I might just have to make it again myself 🙂
